There are still plenty
of Bargains
Some extraordinarily good "buys" have been
found in Hood River this Spring. There are
probably no more bearing orchards to be had at
at the "snap" prices some of these sold for.
Nevertheless, there are still plenty of good bar
gains, that will look just as good as we look
back at them next year, and the next, as these
do now. Here are a few :
1. Small farm, two miles from town, in excellent
condition. Splendid new buildings, plenty of water,
everything in the pink of condition. Priced at $5000
and certainly a bargain.
2. The Quackenbush Place. An ideal home.
3. 110 acres, fifty irrigated and in cultivation. An
unusual opportunity for a stock man. The price is too
low. $3600.
4. A fine big stock and grain farm at Trout Lake
and another at Camas Prairie. Each a dandy and each
priced at $18,000.
5. Fine ten acre orchard property in perfect shape.
Excellent improvements and paying big return on the
price. $6600.
6. Thirty acre orchard with a big crop on the
trees. $500 an acre.
7. Seven room modern house on Pine St. Newly
painted. An unusual bargain at $2000.
8. Big stock ranch in Upper Valley at $10 an acre.
9. Thirty acre place on West Side. Very fine im
provements. Fourteen acres of dandy orchard. $10,500.
And many others. Come and see us.

STANLEY STEAMER
PERFORMS STUNTS
W. It. Earle, of the W. H. Walling
ford Co., of Portland, has been here
this week displaying a Stanley Steamer
touring car. Mr. Karle, accompanied
by Commodore O. C. Dean, who with
L. E. Fouts. is the local aent for the
steamer, has been taking the breath of
local motorists by the ease with which
he takes the steep streets of Hood
River. Indeed, Mr. Earle did not stop
with streets, but on several occasions,
his car laden with astonished passen
gers, negotiated a long flight of con
crete steps leading up from the station
Commodore Dean declares that a
Stanley Steamer can climb Mount Hood
and most Hood Uiver men who have
seen Mr. Earle making the demostrator
perfo-m here, are ready to back him.
The steamer car is truly a marvel.
It can be stopped on the steepest grade
and started again by a slight pressure
on the throtte with as much ease as
though it were beginning to coast down
a gentle declivity.

(With the American Y. W. C. A. Over
sea.) i'obleuz. lierniuuv,
March 1'8 iBy Mall.)
It happened right ber in t'l.leu.
A big corporal lame into tlie Y. W.
C. A. Hostess Housf uml asked for the
director, Miss Itutti WikhIsiiiuII, wlm
comes from Colorado piiiiKS t'olo.
"Could uiy uiotlier stuy heif?" be
begau at once, trying bis lest to cover
his eit'lteuiritt.
"Your mother!" gasped Miss ool
siuull. "How did your uiotlier ever get
be re?"
"Well, sbe Isn't here yet, but If ahe
comes will you keep ber'r"
"tlf course I will, but"
She didn't tlulsli, for the boy had
smashed his cup bark on tils bend and
wus out of the door on a run.
The corporal's visit remained 11 mys
tery for two days. Then on evening
Just at dusk a little white hailed wo
man dressed eniuisitely in black ap
peared lu the sill inn room of the Host
ess House, and the corporal was hover
ing behind her, trying to be beside ber
and back of tier and in front of her
all at once. He was carrying ber
coat a big fur one. With them were
three doughboys, puis of the corporal
They tried to keep in the background,
but their eyes were glued on her face.
Everyone In the sittinic room sat at
attention. There are no English
speaking men or women out of mil
form in the Third Army men. Yet
here was u woman In civilian clothes.
Mothers are unheard of with the army.
Hut this was a mother, everyone knew.
After awhile someone found out
about this mother.
Had Been Interned During War.
She and her husband, who were
horn in Germany, but bad been nat
uralized, lived In San Francisco. Be
fore the war they left for Welsbadcn,
Germany, that their invalid daughter
might have treatment at this fuiuous
health resort.
They brought (heir other children
with them. One was Walter, a small
boy, and the other was It it I ph. now
Corporal Stepp of the American Army.
I When the war was declared they
i sent Ilalpb back to America, because
I be was of military agej and they did
I not wunt him to fight for the kaiser.
Then America entered the war.
Mrs. Sfepp Mrs. Anna Stepp she I
told this part of the story :
"I'litll a month ago I hadn't beard
from ltalph for two jears and a half
even before America got In the war
mall was held up. I didn't know
whether he was In the army in- not
but I was sure he was. because- well,
because he Is an American.'' Here
she stopped a minute to smile up at
hlm.
"After awhile we heard from some
frlcnds-that he was In the army and
that he had come over here. That was
all I ever knew. It's nearly the years
since I have seen him !
"Of course It was awfully hard - I
couldn't get word to him uml he
couldn't to me. My husband used to
tell me It wouldn't help Kalph any for
me to cry. '. tried not to before the
rest of them anyway. M.v daughter
got worse steadily- she Is no better.
We couldn't get the proper food for
ber after awhile. And she haled to
see me worried about Iialpb, so I used
to try to keep up befoiv them,
"Last January my husband came to
Cohlenz about his citizen papers. An
American soldb in Ko 1 1 ill's company
who was In the ollice beurd his name
ami asked him If he was any relation
to ltiilpli. 11c didn't tell him ltalph
was In Goblenz. but went after Itulph,
He didn't tell Kalph his father was
here. When they met they couldn't
believe their eyes.
"Ever since then I have been trying
to see ltalph. He couldn't come to
Weishailen because It was nut of the
American area, and I couldn't get
through until today more than two
months."
They asked her If her Itulph hail
chunged much In all that time,
"nh, yes -very much. But do you
! know, I think it Is because nil that
long time when I didn't know where
he was or how lie was -I got In the
talilt of thinking of him us he was
when he was a baby I kept seeing
him as a baby :.nd remembering ihc
way be fell when he was little. Isn't
that iiieer? And now look at him !"
Anfl the corporal tried not to see the
adoration in her eyes.
"Five years is a long time to wait
to see your boy," sbe nitirmiired, and
kept her eves on him. A'uln she had
forgotten the people around her.
The corporal cleared his throat.
"This Is why I ail d you if you could
keep toy mother, Miss Woodsmiill. I
didn't want her to come unless she
had a good place to slay. Ah, e-e-r
thanks awfully."
And that is the story of how (be
Ib.sless House happened to entertain
the only Known A. K. F. mother who
lias visited the .Vrmy of Occupation.
